I was Flavia's teacher in a map design class. She did excellent work, was careful and conscientious, and always met deadlines. Her skills in graphic design--not a major part of her MPA / Geography MA program--might come in handy in a variety of ways.

Flavia had worked in the GIS Unit at IFDC. She was competent and often took initiatives to improve her performance and contribution to GIS team. Flavia also worked well with visitors and colleagues from developing countries and has helped conduct training programs in Ghana and Syria on DSS.
